I find the AI is taking ships from my fleets, even though I have fleet management set to manual control. Any ideas?

Hm, though that would work. [:(] I will check, thanks for the report.

I can send a save game if it helps.

How big is the range really? With fuel range we can see a circle, is there something similar for sensor range?

Ok, please try again with 1.0.2 if you can.

I tried with 1.0.2 and no go. Had about 10 or so new freighters built and they were all obsolete designs.

I recently got the long range scanner tech and am looking to make use of it. Ship building seems constrained by the roles, so I'm not sure how to make a recon type base or ship. Should I just use them on the explorer? Are they good to add to star ports/bases?

<t> I'd like to see:<br/>
<br/>
More detailed economic info. Break down Star Port Income into Trade and Ship purchases<br/>
<br/>
More detailed ship cost info. Display the price breakdown due to resources. When my maint fees go up, I'd like to know which resources are causing the trouble.<br ...

Erik, 1.01

<t> I have this question too. Will they ever upgrade or will the ship go until destroyed? <br/>
<br/>
I obsoleted my freighter designs and none of the new ones have been purchased. Freighters are still being built but they seem to be the obsolete designs. Under the design list, all the news ones ...

I think more economy metrics would be a big help in understanding the intricacies of managing an empire. &nbsp;

<t> In the future, I would like to see more detailed economic information. Space Port income is a good example. It seems to be made of up 2 things, trade and ship purchases. Ship purchases are usually a lump sum payment while trade would seem to be more stable overtime. <br/>

When you build ...

What is the significance of Private cashflow? Doe it factor in to the empires bottom line, or is it there as an indicator of something?

Is there an indicator that says whether a ship under construction is private or state?

<t> So far, I'm enjoying the whole Stave vs Private aspect of the game. I am a bit confused when it comes to ship construction though. It says Private can buy them, how does that work? Does the construction yard automatically make them, even if it is not set to auto? Do I have to manually build them ...

So far, I am having a tough time with the AI giving my ships orders. I am having pirate attacks in several areas, but the AI is piling on my escorts (patrol) in a single spot. Any ideas? I would like the AI to continue to control them due to refueling issues.

<t> I have a question about resources...<br/>
<br/>
I colonized a new world and began to build a defensive Star Base. My citizens sent transport ships to the new world to get resources like Caslon (which is not a resource on the planet). It turns out the new star base (which isn't finished yet and ...

Good to hear, I'd like making new colonies to be an actual decision.

I'm wondering if spamming colony ships as fast as you can is going to be how it works.

Is there any reason not to colonize every planet you can?

Sent, thanks!

I got a paypal receipt saying it was paid but the site you gave says it can't find my order. &nbsp;
